Emma Field
Dedicated to finding the quirk in the everyday, Emma believes the journey should be as important as the destination. Previously Commissioning Editor and Acting Head of Editorial for www.worldtravelguide.net, Emma wrote for TheTravelEditor.com’s Travel Diaries from July 2009 to June 2010 while exploring India and travelling overland from Brazil to Canada. When she returned, the lovely folks at TheTravelEditor.com saw fit to take her on as the website’s full-time, freelance editor. A fan of overland travel, Emma has InterRailed around Europe (15 destinations in a month – never again), driven the length of Britain on numerous occasions and travelled solo from Holland to Singapore by train, bus, boat, bike, camel, horse, Russian Minivan UAZ- 452, rat-infested ferry, ant-infested coach and a pickup truck popular with careless frog traders. She has also hitch-hiked her way across Norway, had fruitless arguments with Marrakechi taxi drivers, paced the streets of New York City, kayaked the lakes of Manitoba, piggy-backed over the floods of Myanmar, made good use of relocation deals to explore New Zealand and, in a sick twist to the overland travel theme, gone underground to guide friends on a tour of Moscow’s Metro.
